Here is another photo that is a bit of a mystery to me. In this attractive household setting is a figure (a woman, I’m assuming) posing with a rifle, and possibly another firearm in her pants pocket. To my modern eyes this is a costume, but who knows? I’m not sure what’s going on here, but it’s fun to speculate.

The prominent photo on the dresser behind her looks like it might be of a WW1 soldier, and her leggings are similar to the ones from the men’s uniforms. I wonder if she could be a member of some kind of women’s home guard or military-style club? And Annie Oakley did teach women’s shooting classes, so she could have been a student!
